I just bought a Cd player for the S I installed it into the factory brakets a couple of weeks ago. I have noticed that it skipps sometimes when hitting bumps, in the road ie. rough manhole covers, rainroad tracks or big pot holes. I understand that the suspension is alot stiffer than most cars wichin turn gives is a rougher ride. i was just wondering if there was something I could do to cusion the cd player or something that woudl absorb the shock of these bumps.

 

What kind of player did you buy? Very, very rarly does my CD skip.

 

You can get the laser re-aligned....i think. At least you can with Home stereo CD players. What brand / model is it? I would contact the retailer if you purchased it locally. If not, find a local vendor / shop and have them take a look at it. Sounds like the laser might be a bit off.

It's a panasonic CQ-7041 I love the sound quality just the skipping is annoying. I bought it online from a store

 

Does it have suspension screws that alternate between a horizontal and a vertical installation? Most CD changers have this but not sure about in dash units. Some may have been marketed for vertical installation. If these screws were set for a vertical installation and it's installed horizontally, then it will more easily skip.

 

Ummm.....not sure what your talking about. Your too smart me too dumb
